Just curious what your average calorie consumption is for pre-op....I was around 700 today and that looks to be about average for what the next 2 weeks will run! Seems like nothing!!!!!

Me too!!!!!! The headache is like freaking withdrawals! I made my son PB&J for dinner (cub scout night we have 30 minutes from when we walk in the door to be fed, changed and gone). He came in and gave me a kiss after he ate, I told him to run before I ate his face....peanut butter smells sooooo good!!!!!!

Chicken soup is my back up...I usually do it for lunch, not sweet, a little salty, not great but a good change from the sickeningly sweet shakes. Just watch the sodium, it's pretty high which is why I limit myself to 1 per day.

Shoot....not shot :/ HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 251, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 251

I'd rather be flogged with cheesecake than brownies....chocolate has never been my thing. Listening to all y'all talk about how weird your taste buds got I'll probably be begging for chocolate in a month.

Typically. What you lose the Irish 3-4 days is mostly Fluid so that's why it's so dramatic at first, you're peeing all the extra your body is holding off. It does slo down after a couple days but stay the course and it will pick back up some, it likely won't be 15 pounds in 5 days though! Good luck! Ou or this!!!!

I have 2 weeks of shakes and zero calorie liquids (water, Jello, crystal light) then 1 day of clear liquids....the next 2 weeks I will be an irritable beast. That said, I don't have to do the bowel prep!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!!!

My port site bugged me for 6 weeks when I had the beast removed in August!!!! It was really the only spot that bothered me at all....per my surgeon 'it takes a lot of scraping to get the port off the abdominal wall'....yeah, that just sounds painful!!!!!

Mine is 70/30. I had to pay my surgeon $700up front pre-op this week, the hospital will be about $2200,But I get to make payments on that (thank goodness!!!) plus anesthesiology :/ I'm a family practice physician assistant for the hospital system that my surgery is going to be at...our insurance kinda sucks!!!!

Couple thoughts on this A-your body is healing,that's hard work B-food is fuel, the amount of calories you are consuming vs. what your body is used to is totally ridiculous. Give yourself time to heal and your body time to adjust, I was told 8-12 weeks to really feel 'normal'. If you think something isn't right call your surgeon, that's what they're there for HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 251, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 251
